CP451-008 SERIES
Wireless Touchscreen Controller
The CP451-008touch screen controller is ideal for a great many applications including multimedia control systems, general computing, real-time data terminals, etc. Each controller runs Windows XP Embedded and includes these key features:
∙Battery Powered
∙Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
∙Bluetooth Personal Area Network (PAN)
∙Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) Protection
∙AVSnap™ Professional AV System Integration Tool
The CP451-008senses “touch” from a finger, stylus, pen, pencil, gloved finger, or other tool. The touch screen is very accurate and responsive to the touch. The CP451-008incorporates effortlessly into PC based control systems.
Since the CP451-008can run on battery power, most setups use the WLAN feature. For added flexibility, consider the ALTINEX AC301-201 TCP/IP to RS-232 Adapter. This adapter allows RS-232 communication through a standard LAN connection. Place the AC301-201 on an RS-232 controlled device and then connect it to a wireless router for an instant wireless network.
The AC301-201 has both serial (DB9) and network (RJ-45) connections. The AC301-201 connects to a serial device using its DB9 connection, and to the LAN using standard network cable. AVSnap, HyperTerminal, or other RS-232 communication software can then be used to control the serial device using the IP address of the adapter in place of the COM port. In this way, a single controller can be used to control any number of serial devices using their unique IP address.
The Bluetooth module inside each CP451-008is compatible with most peripheral devices like headsets, barcode readers, printers, cell phones, and more.
The CP451-008is small, lightweight, and powerful. It can easily be carried from room to room and used to control several devices on one or more wireless networks.
AVSnap is preinstalled on each CP451-008making it easy to integrate into any control environment. AVSnap provides a complete environment for designing simple to sophisticated graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Design high-quality GUIs with minimum effort by way of user-friendly toolbars for buttons, volume controls, progress bars, and much more. AVSnap incorporates a simple programming language with an organized interface that makes even complex programming code easy to read and maintain.
Everything needed to start is included in a sample application. Use the predefined procedures and functions to communicate with devices over the WLAN, or create your own custom subroutines. If you can program Crestron or AMX, you can program AVSnap.
The EWF prevents changes to the internal drive without specific intent and access. This protects the BIOS and operating system files from becoming corrupt due to power outages or other power interruptions.
The AC404-101is an optional docking cradle available for the CP451-008that includes 2 USB ports, an Ethernet/LAN (RJ-45) port, and an input for DC power. Power is provided to the cradle using the power adapter supplied with the unit. The USB and LAN ports make the cradle an ideal base station that allows for a permanent LAN connection as well as inputs for a USB keyboard and mouse. When not in use, the CP451-008can be placed back on the cradle for charging.
